One assembly point
One pickup for the whole group, with space for the bus and the luggage; wedding groups carry a lot, so the hold is loaded first. Leave at 6 am; with a night at Tirupati, the first day is only about 250 km. The coach takes NH75 through Kolar and Chittoor on day one, and the coastal road with NH16 on day two. Each person keeps a small overnight bag apart from the main luggage.

Past Hoskote
The coach passes Hoskote, 30 km out, and pays the NH75 toll. Hoskote, now a satellite city of Bangalore, is busy with city traffic most of the day, so an early pass helps a big bus. The biryani stalls here are famous, but on Sundays their queues and parked cars slow the road. The first halt for the coach is near Kolar. Everyone can sleep until the first halt. Name a leader for every ten people.

Tea stop
A short tea and restroom stop near Kolar, 70 km out, on NH75, before the long stretch to the border. The coach uses a fuel station on the bypass, as the town centre is congested. Kolar is the district headquarters, called the gateway to Tirumala and Chennai on this highway. Count heads before leaving. Mulbagal and the state border are about half an hour on. Refill the drinking water cans here.

Breakfast
Breakfast for the group near Palamaner, 140 km out. Highway hotels here are used to pilgrim buses and have space to park; order ahead and keep 40 minutes. Palamaner, at about 683 m, is cooler than the plains. Grape gardens grow around the town, and the Kaundinya Wildlife Sanctuary lies nearby. From here the road drops towards Chittoor. The driver checks the coach while the group eats. Count heads before the coach moves.

Bypass
The coach takes the Chittoor bypass, 180 km out, avoiding the busy town centre. Chittoor is a district headquarters where NH69 meets NH40, and the district runs many mango pulp units. Tirupati, the night halt, is about 70 km on, so the group arrives in good time to settle in. Use the time to share the room list. Tell the group the start time for day two. The coach keeps a steady pace on the bypass.

Night halt
Tirupati is about 250 km from Bangalore, a good place to stop for the night. The coach parks at the hotel in town. Every vehicle and pilgrim going up the ghat is screened at Alipiri, a security zone since 2009, so groups planning the hill keep bags small. Free meals are served on the hill at the Annaprasadam complex. Carry the Tirupati laddu home. Day two starts at dawn. Ask everyone to keep their room keys safe.

Early tea
The coach stops at Srikalahasti, 290 km out, for an early tea on day two. The town is about 38 km north of Tirupati and is famous for its temple, where Shiva is worshipped as Vayu, and for the Rahu Ketu pooja. It is also a centre of Kalamkari cloth. The bus parks on the main road. Fifteen minutes, then the coach heads north to Nellore. Do a head count before moving.

Lunch on NH16
Nellore is known for its rice and its fish curry, Nellore chepala pulusu. The coach joins the wide NH16 here, part of the Golden Quadrilateral. Lunch for the group at a highway hotel, booked ahead, then about five hours of road left. Malai kaja, the local sweet, is worth buying for the hosts. Nellore is 385 km from Bangalore. Ask the hotel to keep space for the coach at the gate.

Tea break
Ongole, 505 km out, is famous for its Ongole cattle breed, and spicy Andhra meals are served all along this stretch. A tea and restroom stop for the coach, twenty minutes, before the last run past Guntur. Ongole is the Prakasam district headquarters, and NH16 bypasses the town. The coastal plain is hot and humid in summer, so keep the water cans full. Elders can stretch their legs in the hotel yard.

Drive through
The coach drives through Chilakaluripet, 575 km out, on NH16. Guntur is about 40 km ahead. Kotappakonda, the hill shrine of Trikoteswara Swamy, is about 17 to 20 km away and is very crowded on Maha Shivaratri, so traffic on this stretch can be heavy that week. About an hour and a half remains. The group can start gathering bags for the arrival. Remind everyone to check under the seats for their things.

Hotel or venue
About 16 hours of driving in all, split over two days. The coach drops the group at the hotel or function hall in Vijayawada; for city lanes we fix a drop point. Andhra meals with gongura are the local food. Kondapalli toys, GI tagged handmade wooden toys from Kondapalli near the city, are a good gift for the hosts. The Nunna mango market is busy in season. Fix the return date and time with the group leader before the driver leaves.
Moving 30 to 50 people from Bangalore to Vijayawada for a wedding, a company event or a Kanaka Durga yatra? Below you will find the Bangalore to Vijayawada Bus route, the halts that suit a big coach and the fare. A private bus keeps the group together on a long road, and we break the drive at Tirupati so nobody arrives worn out. We run bus on rent in Bangalore for interstate trips like this.

About 640 km from Bangalore by NH75 to Kolar and Chittoor, then Tirupati, Srikalahasti, Nellore and Ongole on NH16, so about 1,280 km for the round trip. A bus needs about 16 hours of driving, split over two days with a night halt at Tirupati.
5 days at 1500 km and ₹54/km come to ₹81,000. Driver allowance ₹1,000 a day. Tolls, permit and GST are extra.
It is about 16 hours of driving. For a bus we split it at Tirupati.
NH75 through Kolar and Chittoor to Tirupati, then NH16 through Nellore and Ongole.
The 50 seater, with room in the boot for luggage. See bus on rent in Bangalore.
If the bus needs one, the driver pays it at the check post. It is billed at cost.
November to February is the most comfortable for a big group. April to June is very hot and humid on the coast, so the coach starts at dawn on both days. From June to November the coast gets rain, and late season cyclones can hold traffic for a day.
The night at Tirupati breaks the trip in two. Seat elders in the front rows near the door, and keep their medicines and water in a seat bag. Halts come every two hours or so. Book ground floor rooms at Tirupati for those who find stairs hard.
